Cannot remove vEthernet (Ethernet), Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter

[TageBengtsson]

Problem: Have to disable 'vEthernet (Ethernet)' after every reboot to be able to use my local network.
Cannot permanently delete this Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter, which is of no use for me.


Windows 10 Pro (ver.2004): no VPN, no Virtual Machine, no Sandbox (But I have had them installed before), no WiFi, one Ethernet.
Hyper-V manager (virtmgmt.msc) is empty, never used.


Windows Features: Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform, Windows Sandbox are unchecked.


During a session I can delete vEthernet in Device Manager but it comes back after Reboot. (IP: 172.xxx.xxx.1)


When uninstalled in Network connections I get following error:
Could not uninstall the Client for Microsoft Network features.
The error is 0x80071779.
Using 'Disable-NetAdapterBinding to change 'ms_client to False' goes back to True after Reboot


Network Connection->Diagnose this connection: Couldn't identify the problem.
sfc /scannow: didn't find anything.
Network reset in Settings did not make any difference.


There are some useful information in the Device Managers Events tab shown below, but I do not know how to use it!
